   About Ben Christo

Ben is lead guitarist in THE SISTERS OF MERCY, who have recently completed a 5 month World tour, playing alongside the likes of METALLICA, DEPECHE MODE and GUNS 'N' ROSES to name a few. These tracks are his solo work (in progress) and are, as yet, unfinished. As you may or may not know, Ben was formerly a member of AKO, who played with AVENGED SEVENFOLD, AFI, ALKALINE TRIO, WATERDOWN and STONESOUR amongst many other cool bands. AKO enjoyed numerous appearances in Metal Hammer, Kerrang! and Total Guitar (the latter leading to Ben's sponsorship deal with Maverick Guitars) and even recorded a Radio 1 session. After playing the SXSW festival in Texas this year, AKO split amicably and went their seperate ways. Ben's new band, NIGHT BY NIGHT played their first shows in November '06, in Poland. More news soon. Ben uses ENGL AMPLIFICATION and ROTOSOUND STRINGS. Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket Javla Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket

Hey. I've found 20 songs with 'Tough' in the title :)
